Freedom from Emotional Eating, Food & Weight Obsession

Body Awareness

By Robin Okun, LMSW

I have the pleasure of leading movement classes for women. I am a practitioner of the Nia Technique, a mind-body fitness practice. My studio resides in a lovely space, specially designed for women, in an old gentrified factory. It has a funky feel with high ceilings, painted concrete walls and earthy carpets. The space provides a safe place for us to explore our relationships with our bodies as we move, wiggle, shake, dance, stretch, and embrace our breath. We connect with physical sensations, body stories, histories and desires.

About Ellen Shuman

I have worked in the Wellness Field for 30 years. I created an Emotional Eating & Binge Eating Disorder Recovery Program way before most people knew BED was an eating disorder, NOT a “willpower” issue. Personally, I suffered for years before finding answers and the help I needed and deserved! I became a Coach in 1997 to help others who were still suffering as I had. I love being a Coach!
